Try replacing "AbstractRepositoryWebScript" with simply "AbstractWebScript".

Hi,

I am trying to implement the samples as indicated in http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Java-backed_Web_Scripts_Samples however I cannot find the AbstractRepositoryWebScript class. I have downloaded the Alfresco 3.2 SDK as well as 3.2r2 SDK. I would really appreciate any help as to where I can find the jar where these classes reside.

Any assistance is highly appreciated.

Best Regards
Denzil Fillis

There are two ways you can try.

1) Extend Declerativewebscript class instead of AbstractWebScript.
2) The other possiblity is you may have not added alfresco jar files to your class path.
If you are compiling this class using build file then you need to add dependancy of alfresco sdk and add all the Jar files of Alfresco to your class path.

Hope this may solve your problem.

Hello,

I have the same problem:

I'm trying out the "Java-Backed Web Scripts tutorial http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Java-backed_Web_Scripts_Samples" example, SimpleWebScript.java, and I cannot locate the jar file(s) containing the following packages:

org.springframework.extensions.webscripts.AbstractWebScript;
org.springframework.extensions.webscripts.WebScriptException;
org.springframework.extensions.webscripts.WebScriptRequest;
org.springframework.extensions.webscripts.WebScriptResponse;

I've checked /tomcat/webapps/ROOT/WEB-INF/lib/, but it's not there.

Am I missing something?
Thank you for any help provided.

What version are you using? if >= 3.3 then you should have a spring-webscripts JAR somewhere.

Hi, I'm facing the same problem, the only available jar files are the following:

spring-webscripts-1.0.0.CI-SNAPSHOT-sources (3rd-party\src)
spring-webscripts-1.0.0.CI-SNAPSHOT-test-sources (3rd-party\src)
spring-webscripts-api-1.0.0.CI-SNAPSHOT-sources (3rd-party\src)

spring-webscripts-1.0.0.CI-SNAPSHOT-tests (3rd-party\lib\spring-surf)
spring-webscripts-1.0.0.CI-SNAPSHOT (3rd-party\lib\spring-surf)
spring-webscripts-api-1.0.0.CI-SNAPSHOT (3rd-party\lib\spring-surf)

spring-webscripts-1.0.0.CI-SNAPSHOT (\slingshot\build\assemble\WEB-INF\lib)
spring-webscripts-api-1.0.0.CI-SNAPSHOT (\slingshot\build\assemble\WEB-INF\lib)

spring-webscripts-1.0.0.CI-SNAPSHOT (\web-client\build\assemble\WEB-INF\lib)
spring-webscripts-api-1.0.0.CI-SNAPSHOT (\web-client\build\assemble\WEB-INF\lib)

But none of the above seem to do the trick when added to the build path… still no success on how to import correctly:

org.alfresco.web.scripts.WebScriptException;
org.alfresco.web.scripts.WebScriptRequest;
org.alfresco.web.scripts.WebScriptResponse;

And how to extend from:

AbstractRepositoryWebScript

No success on finding out what's the >3.3 equivalent to this classes and jar files on the current revision

Has anyone been able to succeed on making this examples work? any help would be appreciated

thanks

Hi

I also tried one of the examples in > 3.3.
There you need to extend your Webscript from DeclarativeWebScript.

But I do have another Problem:
Once I deployed my webscript, it seems that it never gets updated, even when I recompile (with changes) and redeploy.
I also found out that in the Bean definition (once deployes) it doesnt matter what class it referes to. I can change this without getting any errors etc. when restarting tomcat.
I can even delete the Bean definition and tomcat still doesnt complain when starting…

So I am not quite sure if the Java Web Script is called at all.
I am deploying the .class directly into the alfresco webapp -> WEB-INF/classes, so I dont have to build the AMP all the time while developing.

Is there something I am missing?

You want to pack the .class files into a JAR using jar.exe cf <class files>.

Then you can move the jar file to the WEB-INF/lib folder with the deployment and use those libraries.

Hi Everyone -

I could not find AbstractRepositoryWebScript.java which contains utility methods to access the service layer. I am using the Alfresco Version 3.3.4. Please let me know if anybody has any luck?

Thanks.

Here's a great Tutorial to follow to move to the Spring Framework: http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/IngresTutorial_Alfresco_Web_Service_API_for_Java

Along with this, there are many other Objects that have to be swapped out and converted to Spring. It's not so bad, just use common Java sense and work with the right documentation.
